"way better than the movie"
I laughed out loud listening to this. This was hands down one the funnest books i have purchased from audible. The main character had spunk and was very likable. It was great watching her evolve into a "grown-up".
"missed the point"
I had a hard time with this one. The main character falls madly in love with her husband, and then there is an accident. The whole of their relationship changes, so far I get it. What I did not get was the way she threw it out the window. Did she stay faithful, yes and no. She was not really easy to like and I think that is why I had a hard time with this book. She never talked of her husband to others and that seemed strange given her job. I felt all around that this book was missing something, love. I feel she didn't love, so I didn't care.
I love erotica. This is way too much to take in. I did not like the characters and when that happens youy don't care what happens to them. This was poorly written. Even smut should have a story line that is believable.
This is fun if you get british humor. Very predictable. Given the genre, what else could you expect.
I would not recommend this to anyone. this is so slow that i gave up. The main character is way to whiney for my taste.
This is kind of a dark book. My boys loved it. My 11 year old is now actually reading the sequel. Thatmeans a lot.
My kids and I listen to this on the way to and from school everyday, until it was over. They loved it. It was a bit anticlimatic but fun.
"I tried..."
The narrirator ruined this for me. Audible should try to pick people who can do the job.
"could of, should of..."
This story had all the elements to make a great story. I just kept waiting for it to happen. I made it all the way to the end and then it just ended. Through the entire book I was expecting something to happen to warrant listening to the end and then nothing.
"I was hopeful"
I wanted these stoies to be great, I really did, but that is far from what I got. If this is the best america can offer in erotica then we need to start getting it from other places.

Website | IFR |
The Institute of Food Research (IFR) in the United Kingdom is one of the world's leading agricultural and food science research institutions. It prides itself upon its wealth of research, regularly contributing to both government policies and industry bodies as well as public relations.
Based in Norwich, IFR was originally founded in 1968; however its research can be traced back almost 100 years to the low temperature research station in Cambridge.
The Institute was based on four sites across the UK:
- Shinfield near Reading in Berkshire
- Lower Langford in North Somerset
- the Long Ashton Research Station in Somerset
- Colney in Norwich
In 1999, it was decided that the research centres should all consolidate on the Norwich Research Park.[1] The site is in the parish of Colney on the B1108, just west of the University of East Anglia.
Current focus[edit]
IFR aims to fulfil a UK and international leadership role in delivering:
- fundamental food & health research
- applied and translational research in food & health for societal benefit
- high level training in food and health research
- effective networks with:
- academic and research centres for research and training
- food industry for strategic research and knowledge exchange
IFR is one of eight institutes that receive strategic funding from the Biotechnology and the Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC).
IFR science aims to meet the challenges of supplying safe, nutritious food that promotes healthy ageing now and in the future. IFR provides underpinning science for government and the food manufacturing industry.
IFR science strategy aims to understand the working of the intestinal tract, how food-borne bacteria can cause human disease, and how the chemical and physical nature of our food influences health and can add value to the food chain. We have strategic relationships with other BBSRC institutes, the University of East Anglia and Imperial College, London.
IFR scientists are advancing understanding of:
- the fundamental biological processes within the gut, involving the interaction between food, the microbes that live in the GI-tract (microbiota) and the human gut epithelium
- how nutrients and other food components pass into the blood stream and affect our health
- the survival and growth of foodborne microbial pathogens
The Institute is uniquely positioned to contribute to understanding how food can enhance health, thus contributing to the quality of life of individuals and the economic health of the nation. We address the Biological Sciences Research Council's three key strategic research priorities :
- Bioscience for a sustainable supply of sufficient, affordable, nutritious and safe food, adapting to a rapidly changing world
- Basic bioscience underpinning health driving advances for better health across the life course and improved quality of life, reducing the need for medical and social intervention
- Bioenergy and industrial biotechnology biofuels and industrial materials from novel biological sources, reducing dependency on petrochemicals and helping the UK to become a low carbon economy
IFR receives great support from its parent research council the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC).
IFR has a significant presence in the UK, Europe and worldwide. Its vast research base extends the focus of extremely topical subjects, such as food security, diet and health including obesity and healthy aging.
Consultancy work[edit]
The Institute has its own laboratories and staff, and can access a full range of experts and resources to put together large, multidisciplinary teams. The Institute also provides access to food experts on a consultancy basis (see IFR Extra), and can undertake short-term applied research, trouble-shooting and specialist analysis, making its expertise available and affordable to all companies.
IFR Extra[edit]
IFR Extra[2] offers a range of research and consultancy services to the food sector, such as microbiology and analytical sciences.[3] IFR Extra provides a route by which the wider research expertise of IFR is accessible to small and medium-sized companies in the food industry. Industrial clients often demand a confidential and rapid response, and this is recognised IFR Extra's management systems, which are accredited to ISO9001.
Core Facilities[edit]
IFR has invested in key platform technologies (in the Analytical Sciences [3] and Proteomics Units[4]) that are central to the effective delivery of IFR science. The Institute also maintains a Human Nutrition Unit for non-residential metabolic studies involving human volunteers.

Mark Craig has covered the NFL for 23 years, and the Vikings since 2003 for the Star Tribune. He is one of 44 Pro Football Hall of Fame selectors. Follow him at @markcraignfl.
Master Tesfatsion is the Star Tribune's digital Vikings writer. He is a 2013 graduate of Arizona State and worked for mlb.com before arriving in Minneapolis. Follow him at @masterstrib.
Anthony Herrera returned to the practice field today for the first time since suffering a torn left anterior cruciate ligament last Nov. 21 against the Green Bay Packers at the Metrodome.
Herrera, the Vikings' starting right guard since November 2007, worked with the first team during group installation drills after being activated from the physically-unable-to-perform list. He had to pass a physical before being taken off that list. Herrera, who was wearing a protective wrap on his knee, declined to comment as he left the field, saying he had to go get treatment.
"We didn't anticipate him being on the field until maybe next week at the earliest, and the fact that he's out here a week earlier than we anticipated, that's a good sign," coach Leslie Frazier. Frazier said there is a chance Herrera could get a series on Saturday night in Seattle, depending on how things go this week in practice.
Herrera did not do any work in 11-on-11 drills during Monday's practice at Winter Park -- the Vikings broke camp in Mankato last Friday -- opening the door for Scott Kooistra and Ryan Cook to get reps. Cook replaced Herrera after he was injured last season.
That was interesting because Chris DeGeare had played left guard while Herrera was out. DeGeare started at that position in the Vikings' preseason opener Saturday night at Tennessee, but on Monday he was used at right tackle in the team drills.
"No, we're not taking [DeGeare] out of the mix [at right guard], but we want to able to give him a chance to work some tackle along with Jon Cooper," Frazier said. "We're going to flop those guys a little bit and just see what kind of position flexibility they can give us and you know on that offensive line if you can find a couple guys that can do that, it just helps you numbers-wise when you come to game day. We're going to give Chris a chance to see how he does in that regard."
Cooper, the Vikings' backup center, actually will get work at guard and center now.
Asked how DeGeare looked on tape Saturday, Frazier said: "He actually graded OK. There were some things that he could do better, and I'm sure he would say the same. But overall, he did a pretty decent job. He'll get some other opportunities."
Frazier's intention is to leave Kooistra at tackle for the most part. That means the competition for right guard will be between Herrera, DeGeare and Cook.
Still on the sideline
Tight end Visanthe Shiancoe (hamstring) and linebacker Kenny Onatolu (foot) remained out of practice.
Onatolu is no longer wearing a walking boot on his left foot, but Frazier doesn't expect him to play until the third preseason game against Dallas.
Shiancoe likely will sit out again Saturday after straining his hamstring last week. "[We] just want to be cautious," Frazier said. "We'd like to take a look at the other guys. We kind of know where Shianc is. If it were a game situation, maybe, but no, preseason, we should be all right."
More injuries
Linebacker Heath Farwell (hamstring), offensive tackle Thomas Welch (glute) and defensive end D'Aundre Reed (strained calf) did not practice Monday. Rookie safety Mistral Raymond, coming off a hamstring pull suffered last week, was limited.

Great NEWS !!! I Knew it would come !!
Posted 1 June
Soul Sacrifice For PS Vita Is Coming To Europe
Hi everyone. This morning I'm pleased to bring you the news that Soul Sacrifice for PS Vita will be coming to Europe! The legendary Keiji Inafune of Comcept is leading this project with MarvelousAQL, with Yasunori Mitsuda and Wataru Hokoyama working on the music and soundtrack.
To celebrate this news, Inafune-San has kindly sent us the following video and comments about his vision for Soul Sacrifice. Enjoy!
What I wanted to illustrate in this game was a "reality blended into a fantasy world". The word "fantasy" normally points to a story that is fictitious; however, with Soul Sacrifice I wanted to illustrate a "reality" within a fantasy that wasn't sugar-coated. It's not about focusing on the strange, but to flip the commonly held concept of what a fantasy theme should be with the concept of "reality".
Cruelty is a reality in our world, and we have to make sacrifices and pay costs on a daily basis. I wanted to blend this "reality" theme into a fantasy world, one filled with magic, and create a new type of gaming experience that relied on the player making sacrifices in order to obtain great power.
There is a "dark pleasure" lying in between fiction and reality that none of us knew was there. If you simply think of it as a "dark fantasy," then your expectations will be betrayed – but in a good way. Please look forward to Soul Sacrifice. It will be a game that players around the world will surely enjoy. — Keiji Inafune, Comcept
is it this year ?
great! when?
Wow, great news guys, keep them coming!
Great, can't wait……
Looks nice. We need some good original titles for the Vita.
Another original title for vita like gravity rush. I am definitely buying it day one. My only request is that like typical japanese games, I hope this game also boasts a lengthy single player campaign and awesome story.
This is truly awesome news. I hope this leads the way for more Japanese games to be localised like this. The interviews looked promising as well and the whole pulling out your spine to use as a sword is just epic.
looking forward to this!!
cool i cant wait
quick question: can you confirm that soul sacrifice and forsaken souls are two different franchises?
Im so glad this is coming out to europe/uk, when i saw the trailers and such about it a few weeks ago i was like I'm deffinately getting that! but then it was rumoured it might be japan only was disappointed, but its not now! so yehhh!
A game where you can pull out your own spine and use it as a sword?
where can I pre order?
Game looks awesome, hopefully it will have some different class systems or/and an open world, fingers crossed.
Do we have at least a release window, something like Q4 2012 or Q1 2013, a general time frame?
Also will this be featured at E3?
It looks Great!It will be a Day one buy for me if it has online multiplayer.Does it have Online Multiplayer?It would be awsome!^^
Surely you have to leave something for E3.
it is a **** GAME
We close the comments for posts after 30 days. If you would still like to comment on this post, please use our contact form.

How am I to be repaired when only I do the repairing?
How do I stop the feel I've never felt before?
Look up to the sky and who do I shed my rain on?
I'd weep on a shoulder but everyone's shoulder is full, filthy
with acid.
I have no one to turn to and I'm afraid if I turn around,
The realization of my emptiness will asphyxiate me more than my
tightened throat.
Every set of visuals I set forth is an untrustworthy foe.
And all the rest don't have the strength to lift me to
For once, could there ever be a time where it's ok to rely on
someone else's tourniquet other than my own without regret of
I ask to be reassured anew and not feel the old blotched
Because I can't do this anymore.
For I am but a child forced into adulthood,
All alone with nothing to prove.
I only know of one species to love me unconditionally,
And yet that has been stolen from me.
I slap myself in the face,
And prepare for the next day of self ridicule.
Because in reality, it doesn't matter.
I've made my bed,
Now I have to lie in it.

Building a Menu
By Tamia Nelson June 17, 2003
Departure Day for your Big Trip is fast approaching.
You've made most of the hard choices already. Your "jewelry" (aka your
batterie de cuisine, or pots and pans) is ready to go. You've decided whether to
pack heat or rely
on open fires. You
know what all your friends like to eat
and what they hate. Now the fun begins: you've got to build a menu.
Ask experienced camp cooks how they go about putting together a menu and you'll get
almost as many answers as there
are cooks. Some folks work entirely with freeze-dried entrées. This isn't cheap,
but nothing could be easier. Others spend long winter nights carefully assembling portable
banquets for every day of their summer trips, lovingly prepackaging the dry
ingredients for each meal in individual heat-sealed bags. These paddling gourmets always
eat well, but their method isn't practical for people with busy schedules.
Most paddlers fall somewhere between the two extremes. I'm no exception. I use
freeze-dried entrées sparingly, and I almost never prepackage individual meals.
Instead, I draw up a seven-day master menu, then repeat that menu (with minor
variations) every week I'm away from home base. I try to balance economy with
convenience, while never losing sight of the fact that meals can be more than just fuel
for the engine. Here are the building blocks I use in crafting my menus:
These categories overlap, to be sure, but they're still useful. Now it's time to
build your menu. By combining elements from each of the four building-blocks, I
construct a plan for simple, easy-to-prepare meals. I always include at least one
supper meal each week that will go together in just a few minutes. (Hard-chargers will
want more than one.) This generally means a quick-cooking couscous dish. I also plan one
or two elaborate meals for layover days. These are good times for pancakes or baked
treats like pizza and bannock, or
long-simmering soups like split pea.
Let's look at each meal in turn.
Morning's usually a busy time in camp, so breakfast is either a quick-cooking cereal
(like oatmeal) or cold granola. On
layover days, I make scrambled eggs, stewed fruit, or pancakes. One thing never changes,
though: even in midsummer, breakfast isn't done till I've gotten at least one mug of hot
tea down my throat.
On a weekend picnic, you can make a meal of having lunch, but if you're four days
into a week-long trip, lunch is usually a movable feast. Since it's sometimes eaten in
the boat I've even had lunch while parked in an eddy in the middle of a long
rapids simple and good are the watchwords here. Crackers and cheese, or cold
bannock slathered with peanut butter and jelly, followed by a handful of chocolate chips
or M&Ms and raisins. Want something to wash it down with? Of course you do! Powdered drink
mixes are welcome thirst-quenchers. Tea, too, if possible. (With a
well-behaved stove and a great deal of care you can brew up a cuppa in your canoe, at
least in calm water. Practice this on home waters first, though.)
Midsummer heat sometimes makes a long noon break desirable. Then you'll have time to
simmer soup or even bake a bannock. Save some bannock for tomorrow's lunch.
'Tis a puzzlement. You usually have plenty of time at the end of the day, but you're
often too tired to cook an elaborate meal. Pasta, rice, and couscous
dishes are probably the easiest to prepare, with stews and soups coming in a close
second. If you're feeling energetic, pizza is a
favorite. Once again, tea is usually my beverage of choice. If you like a glass of wine
or a tot of rum, however, and if you're not camping in a park that bans "open
containers," supper's the time to indulge. Rum and brandy are the traditional waterman's
tipples, but I prefer wine with my meals. The box wines are cheap and drinkable, and
they travel well. They're not light, I admit, but there's a bonus once rinsed
out, the empty bladders make good water bags. (They can even double as air pillows.)
Desserts and Other Treats
No supper is complete without dessert. Fruit is always good, but when fuel supply,
time, and weather permit, it's nice to have a baked dessert or campfire snack. Bannock's
a good choice, and any Sweet Teeth in your party can be appeased with apple crisp or a
cheesecake from a boxed mix. Instant cocoa's good, too, and popcorn is another favorite
after-dinner treat. Remember to wash out all your dirty pots before hitting the sack,
though. Uninvited guests are a pain at any time of day, but they're particularly
unwelcome at 0-dark-thirty. A clean camp is the only way to insure an unbroken night's
Does all this seem too complicated? Thinking about living off the land, instead? A
word to the wise: Don't. Even where (and when) it's permitted by law, hunting and
gathering's a full time job, and it's mighty hard work, too. Fishing is fun well,
fun for the angler, at any rate; the trout I've caught haven't been very forthcoming on
the subject but the fish aren't always biting, and these days a lot of them are
carrying a heavy load of toxic contaminants in their fat and flesh. Poached PCBs with
mercury sauce isn't my idea of a treat, I'm afraid.
Except for hard-core survivalists and commandos in training, therefore, most paddlers
will find it better (and easier) to bring their own food along. In fact, it's best to
bring a little more than you'll think you'll need. It's hard to starve to death, but it's not
impossible, and missing even a couple of meals will take the fun out of any trip.
OK. You've built your menu. But you're not done yet. You still have to pack all your
It's in the Bag
Glass bottles break at the least opportune times. Cans are a pain in the back. And
both are now illegal in many parks. The only glass containers I carry are the tiny
bottles that hold my water-purification tablets, and even where cans are allowed, I save
tinned meats for a rare treat. Retort packs are lighter than cans, and they're
surprisingly durable, but MREs (Meals, Ready to Eat) and other retort-packed meals
aren't dehydrated. Water weighs a lot. Where possible, I prefer to rely on dry
ingredients and "harvest" my water locally. That's
one type of living off the land that (usually) makes sense.
But if cans are too heavy and glass is out of the question, what's left? Plastic.
"Zip-lock" storage bags, freezer bags, and heat-sealed bags. All of them work. Repackage
any foods that come in cardboard boxes in plastic bags. (Do NOT repack canned food. If
you take it, keep it in the original, unopened can, and plan on eating the entire
contents of any newly-opened can at one meal. Food poisoning isn't much fun at home.
It's pure hell in the backcountry.) Once you've filled a bag and half full is
full enough squeeze out as much air as you can, then tie securely. If you close
freezer bags with overhand slip knots, rather than twist-ties, you won't pierce the bag.
You'll also have one less piece of garbage to haul back home. Double bags are less
likely to spring untimely leaks, but only if you remember to knot each bag
Some folks heat-seal their food in sturdy plastic bags, and these work well.
(Heat-sealed bags usually can't be reclosed, though.) The bladders from box wines
once they've been rinsed and thoroughly dried also make sturdy bags for grains or
any other bulk foods that can be funneled in through the narrow pour spout. Whatever
bags you use, don't forget to label the contents clearly, placing any special
instructions in the bag, where they won't get lost.
Plastic bags won't work for all foods, of course. What about liquids? The plastic
bottles that cooking oil and maple syrup often come in usually travel well, though
you'll want to double bag them, just to be on the safe side. On the other hand,
semi-solids like peanut butter, jams, jellies, and stick margarine often have to be
repacked. Refillable tubes once enjoyed a certain vogue for these hard-to-pack items,
but I never had much luck with them. The clips were always coming undone, and the
plastic tubes were hard to scrub out. I preferred rigid plastic containers with
press-fit lids, secured with rubber bands and then double-bagged. I still do. They're
easy to clean, too. (Wash all rigid containers before filling, then scald with boiling
water and allow to air dry.) You'll find suitable boxes in a wide range of sizes in
nearly every supermarket. Failing that, you can always host a Tupperware party.
Once all your food is in the bag, it's time to get organized. I put supper and
breakfast items in separate packs. Stuff sacks work fine on weekend outings, but you'll
want larger packs for longer trips. A spice kit goes into the supper pack. Lunch gets a
third sack all its own, stowed where it's easy to grab underway. Bulk supplies of staple
foods (e.g., flour, sugar, coffee, and milk powder) are double-bagged and then stored in
a separate "staples bag." On short trips, the food bags travel in our personal packs. On
longer trips, or on a any trip in bear country, they get packs of their own. The "family
jewels" (my pots and pans) are packed with the food. On every trip, long or
short, waterproof packs (or pack liners) are worth the cost.
Got your packing done? Bags stacked by the door? They make a pretty big pile, don't
they? I'm always surprised at how much we eat. Still, it's better to have a little too
much food than not enough. Happy water trails and Bon appétit!

only eat to
live, you'll want to check out our "Alimentary, My Dear" archive.

The NFPA Conference & Expo Chicago, IL in the Hyatt McCormick Place, Prairie room Sunday, June 21, 2015 6:00 to 8:00 pm
There is a lot of interest in the design criteria of attack fire hose and research is underway to look at the current design and testing criteria. When the results are available, NFPA® will provide them to the Technical Committee on Fire Hose, which develops NFPA 1961, Standard on Fire Hose. NFPA will also facilitate any revisions to the Standard that the Technical Committee feels necessary. Our process allows for this to happen at any time, regardless if the Standard is in its revision period or not.
You play a vital role in the development of our Standards. There are two ways you can be part of the discussion on attack fire hose. NFPA 1961 is open for Public Inputs until July of 2015 and this is an opportunity for you and the members of your Department to share your needs and thoughts about fire hose with the Technical Committee. Visit next edition accepting Public Inputs at www.nfpa.org/1961.
The Committee on Fire Hose is seeking members in the interest classifications of Installer/Maintainer, Applied Research/Testing Laboratory, Insurance, Consumer, Enforcer, Labor, Special Expert and User. Your voice and that of your Department is needed and welcomed. To learn more visit submit Fire Hose TC Application online.

As we approach the holiday season, the NFPA Fire Service Section Board would like to wish everyone a safe holiday season and Happy New Year. I hope 2015 brings the fire service great opportunities and foremost safety for all.
The Fire Service Section has several objectives, and we strive to accomplish these objectives annually. Three of the section objectives are, Stimulate awareness of the need for continually improving programs in management, training, and education within the profession, Encourage and assist it's members in conducting meetings, conferences, seminars, and such other forums as may be practicable for the exchange of information and the encouragement of professionalism within the service, and Advance and encourage the development of improved fire suppression equipment that meets appropriate performance standards. As we strive to meet our objectives each year we are proud to help sponsor the F.I. E. R. O. Fire PPE Symposium. NFPA is one of the sponsors of this biennial event. The symposium will be March 16-18, 2015 at the Sheraton Hotel in downtown Raleigh, North Carolina. Please take time to go to their Web site and get additional information about the PPE Symposium.
The symposium includes presentation by industry and fire service PPE experts, a networking forum, an exhibit area and a tour of T-PACC (Total Protection and Comfort Center), the leading PPE research facility in the world at North Carolina State University.
Please join the Fire Service Board of Directors at this Symposium in March. We look forward to meeting you.
Please be safe, and thank you so much for the opportunity to serve you.
Gary L. Neilson Chair Fire Service Section Board of Directors
If you engage in any serious discussion about reducing fire fighter death and injury, someone will inevitably say the best way is to reduce the number of fires. The statement will usually get a head nod and the discussion will go to the more glamorous aspects of firefighting. In fact, the number of fires is decreasing while the number of fire fighter deaths is fluctuating. Why are the number of fires decreasing? The fire prevention folks are s-l-o-w-l-y winning the war. Through building and life safety codes (and the enforcement of those codes) we live in a "fire safer" country, though we lag behind several other developed nations. And, there is a tremendous amount of needed improvements. Buildings are built to the following codes: The International Building Code, NFPA 5000, and NFPA 101 (Life Safety Code). Buildings are maintained to the International Building Code, NFPA 1 and NFPA 101.
If the fire service is to survive, it must acknowledge and embrace the work of fire educators and code development and enforcement personnel. Perhaps the best way to get insight into this world is to attend the annual NFPA Conference and Expo. It is not like any other fire conference or exhibit. In fact, when people visit the Expo, they will struggle to find exhibits with fire and emergency response equipment. One exception might be nozzles and fire stream appliances. The exhibit hall is all about fixed systems and fire prevention, etc.
However, fire fighters who wish to advance their career will find the NFPA Conference is full of educational offerings not found at other conferences. It provides insight and understanding about the greater fire and emergency services arena. And, it provides a perspective into the fire service role in this greater arena. There is a huge emphasis on research and data collection. With over 150 educational offerings, the biggest problem is deciding which presentations to eliminate. The NFPA Fire Protection Research Foundation usually sponsors a presentation during every time slot.
A prime example of how the fire service connects to this non-glamorous world was illustrated by Sean DeCrane, Battalion Chief and Director of Training for the Cleveland Fire Department. Chief DeCrane represents the IAFF on the "Code Process". He provided extensive information on how codes need to be strengthened due to the early failure of wood truss construction. He illustrated how this parallels the increase in fuel loads for the present-day fires compared to the legacy fires. He underscored his message with the following points: 1. The fire station is our staging area. 2. The "built community" is our work environment. 3. We need to take ownership of our work environment. 4. We need to be responsible for our own safety. 5. We cannot rely on industry to protect us because they just don't understand.
The Conference is where NFPA announces its latest findings in the previous year's line-of-duty deaths. Unfortunately, there were 97 on-duty deaths as counted by the NFPA in 2013. (19 of the deaths were at the Yarnell Hill Fire.) This is the most since 2008, when there were 105 LODD's, and bucked a downward trend. In 2009, there were 82; in 2010, there were 73; in 2011, there were 61, and in 2012, there were 64.
Jeff Stull gave a presentation titled "Improved Liquid Integrity Test of First Responder Ensembles". This presentation provide insight into the importance of liquid protection in turnout gear as well as haz-mat suits. While many firefighters dismiss the value of liquid penetration in turnout gear because of body sweat, it is important to keep in mind that liquid barriers are a big shield against carcinogens. I'm sure he could now expand on this report with the recent Ebola crisis.
Other "unique" presentations of interest to the fire service included a presentation from Jim Reidy and Brandon Murray from the San Antonio Fire Department titled " Sheltering Our Own: first Responder Emergency Sheltering". They provided guidance on the logistics of providing shelter for emergency responders during disasters. There was a presentation about fire fighters serving people with disabilities; a presentation on educating emergency responders about hydrogen and fuel cell vehicles; the next generation of PASS devices; intrinsic safety for fire fighter electronic equipment; a case study on the West Fertilizer Explosion; photovoltaic system fire hazards; the future of emergency management and NFPA; and, a special NIST project titled "Creating the Research Roadmap for Smart Fire Fighters of the Future".
It is important to note that many of the fire service personnel who attend the NFPA Conference and Expo are repeat attendees. This is the testament to the quality of the experience. The next NFPA Conference and Expo will be June 22-25 at McCormick Place in Chicago.

I do not emphasize trivial factual details in this course. On tests and quizzes I will NOT ask you to tell me the dates of the battle of Arnhem, or the names of the commanders in it. There are some facts you need to know, but they are more important things than dates and names. On the other hand, I will expect you to get an idea of the sequence of events, what came first and what came later.
The most important single part of your grade will be the course paper. You can write it on whatever topic you please, within the limit of the subject matter of this course. Most of the papers should be about eight to ten pages long typed double spaced, or the equivalent in handwriting. Longer papers acceptable.
For more detailed guidelines on the term paper, see Writing a Term Paper in Military History.
The paper is due Wednesday, April 23. It is late if I have not gotten it before I go home that day (definitely not before 4:30 PM, maybe later than that). There will be a five point penalty if it is handed in on April 24 or 25. The penalty will be fifteen points if it is not turned in by the time I go home on Friday, April 25.
You can have a pretty free choice of topics for this paper, within the limits of the subject matter of this course. You must come in and talk to me about your paper, and discuss the sources you will be using. It is not enough to say to me as we are walking out of the classroom one morning "Professor Moise, is it OK if I write about the Battle of Chancellorsville?" You will need to talk things over with me for ten or maybe even twenty minutes, not just a few seconds. After we have talked, you must give me a written statement of your topic, with a list of the main sources you plan to use. There will be a five point penalty if you have not given this to me by March 5, and an additional five points if it is not in by March 12. If it still is not in by March 26, I will either give you yet another five-point penalty, or else simply hand you a sheet of paper telling you what topic you must write on, and what sources you must use.
The deadlines in the paragraph above have now been extended. The new dates are: There will be a five point penalty if you have not given your term paper source sheet to me by March 10, and an additional five points if it is not in by March 24. If it still is not in by March 31, I will either give you yet another five-point penalty, or else simply hand you a sheet of paper telling you what topic you must write on, and what sources you must use.
If you bring in a preliminary draft of your paper ten days or so before it is due, I will read it and then tell you what needs changing. You can then go home and re-write it. This will almost certainly improve the grades of the few students who bother to take advantage of this offer, so don't be one of the lazy majority who don't start work on the paper until a week before it is due, and then have no time for re-writing.
The paper is worth 150 points. The other written work will be:
newspaper research exercises, worth 40 points each.
--One essay quiz (20 points).
--The midterm test (70 points)
and the final exam (120 points),
which will be mostly essay questions.
This adds up to 440 points for the course.
The basic grade scale is that 90% (396 points) is the bottom of the
A's, 80% (352 points) is the bottom of the B's, and so on. Sometimes
I alter the scale in the students' favor, never against them.
Thus 396 points is a guaranteed A; 392 or even 388 points might be an A, if the
average for the class is low.
Academic integrity requires that we not try to pass off other people's work as our own. The ways students have gotten into problems of academic dishonesty in this course, in past years, have been:
Large portions of a term paper copied from a book or web site, without any indication that the material was copied. Typically this involves both large amounts of material quoted word-for-word, without quotation marks, and also a serious shortage of source notes pointing to the book from which the material came. Often there are misleading source notes claiming the material came from some source other than the one from which it was actually copied word-for-word. These false source notes are especially strong evidence of academic dishonesty.
Whole term paper obtained from some source (a commercial term paper service, or the Internet, or the collection of term papers that one of the fraternities used to have, and may still have).
One student copies another student's 40-point newspaper research exercise, maybe changing a few words and substituting synonyms, but leaving the two papers still so similar that it is obvious the resemblance could not be coincidence. I would be likely to bring charges both against the student who copied and the student who allowed his or her paper to be copied.
There are some ways in which it is perfectly all right for student to help each other. If two students want to study together getting ready for a test, great. Only after I have handed out the questions does help on a test become improper. But if two people work together on a newspaper research exercise, and turn in papers that are very similar because each has been getting a lot of help from the other in writing it, both will be in deep trouble. If one of your fellow students asks to look at your paper, to get a better idea of how the assignment was to be done, please say no. They should come to me to ask for further explanations of the assignment, rather than looking at a completed paper to give them their clues. If two papers are so similar it is obvious the author of one must have seen the other, I will file charges.
There will also be reading assignments that I will make available online.

Please give source notes. I want to be able to tell in each section of your paper
which article or articles you are discussing in that section. It is not enough to have
a list at the end, if I can�t tell as I read the paper which article you are discussing
where. Source notes must give page numbers.
I don�t care about the format of source notes as long as they tell me what I need to
know. Any format that allows me easily to discern the name of the author, the title of the
article, the title of the publication, and the date and page, is OK.
There is no requirement that you use The New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the
Washington Post, or The Times of London,
but those papers have the advantage that you can access them online through the
Library's Articles Access Page. If you want to use newspapers other than those, your best bet
is to go to the Microfilm Reading Room on level 2 of the Library, which has quite a few newspapers
on microfilm. If you want to use weekly newsmagazines, the easiest way is to use the ones that have been
bound into volumes, on the shelves on level 1 of the library.

Hand in newspaper research exercise. Choose either four articles about the fighting on the Western Front
(France and Belgium) or four articles about what was happening in and on the
Atlantic Ocean. The articles must have been published during May and/or June 1915. (If you choose
to write about the Western Front, you need to figure out
where the places discussed in the articles are,
at least vaguely. If you choose an article that is actually about Italy or Greece or some such place, not
the Western Front, I will mark you off for it.)
Write an essay of about two pages (typed double spaced) about what you found. How
did the press portray the military action? Say what
there was in the articles that you found interesting or surprising. Evaluate them for
bias: is there anything that leads you to distrust them, or to think that the facts may
be being distorted to fit the author's viewpoint? Do they use loaded language? Notice
the source; did the reporter say that something was true, or only that somebody else had
said it was true? If you say there is bias, please make it clear exactly what was said,
that you consider biased.
I want to see one essay based on several articles, not a string of essentially separate
mini-essays, each based on a single article. Try to select articles that will allow
you to have some unifying themes in your essay.

Illuminating reasoning and categorization
UNSPECIFIED (2005) Illuminating reasoning and categorization. BEHAVIORAL AND BRAIN SCIENCES, 28 (1). 27-+. ISSN 0140-525X
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
The proposal regarding rules and similarity is considered in terms of ability to provide insights regarding previous work on reasoning and categorization. For reasoning, the issue is the relation between this proposal and one-process as well as two-process accounts of deduction and induction. For categorization, the issue is how the proposal would simultaneously explain both similarity-to-rule and rule-to-similarity shifts.

NWAR: Trench Warfare
Detective Nwar gets his hands dirty for a political campaign.
4.44 / 5.00 3,158 ViewsEDIT: Thanks for frontpage Tom, and thanks to all the reviewers!
NOTE: Be sure you have the latest flash player before watching this!
This cartoon is the first in what will hopefully become a series from me, entitled Fizz! It follows a guy named Fizz, who, through a series of events was given the power to control and manipulate soda, as well as gain special abilities when he drinks it! Sadly in this episode, I wanted to establish Fizz's personality more than anything, so you don't get to see him use any of his powers, but hopefully you'll still get a chuckle out of it.
I want to really thank my voice actors for doing an excellent job, and getting there lines in to me promptly, be sure to check out there pages if you ever need some voice work done!
So, without further ado, I hope you enjoy Fizz!
Pretty good!
I thought the stereotypes were very funny. With only 2 characters as of right now, I hope this series goes somewhere
I intend to make a large cast of characters as the series progresses.
Humors very dry. animation was pretty impressive though
I'll work on that for next time, thanks.
i can't see anyone's face or anything except the bodies and legs
Ya need the latest flashplayer.
really good
it looks like its going to be a good series. lmao puppy cannon
Thanks, hopefully it is. :)
The beginning got me hooked.
I really like the preloader set the flash off to a good start and made me know that it was gonna be quite decent. The lipsyncing was synced well aswell, wasn't just a line and a black circle.
Had alot of funny lines and the general idea of this story, can't wait for the next one, seeing what super powers he's gonna get is gonna be pretty cool.
The only thing I can say on doing next time is a bit more movement but if you were just showing his personality then I guess movement isn't a factor
[Review Request Club]
Well I tried to do as much movement as I could given how the story progressed, but really in this one they just talk a lot. I guarantee that in the next one the characters will move more.

Caterva Musica (Baroque Instrumental Ensemble)
Founded: 1998 - Gelsenkirchen, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany
Caterva musica comes from Latin and means "musical band ". The ensemble was founded in in 1998 by the musician couple - Elke and Wolfgang Fabri and organized and led since then by them. The ensemble is made up of professional musicians that are usually directed by the solo cellist Olaf Reimers. Woodwinds, strings and leyboard players form the core of Chamber Orchestra. Caterva musica is at home in the Ruhr area and stands out there by their Historical Performance Practice. The members play on original or historical models reconstructed instruments that give the special sound in interaction. Caterva musica gas gained a major awareness by their regular concerts since 2001, five times held annually with great success at Schloss Horst in Gelsenkirchen. Changing staffing levels of chamber music to classical orchestra are a trademarks of Caterva musica. The musical work of Caterva musica with now over 50 concert programmes and more than 250 elaborated works is colorful and varied. Firstly, should be mentioned their work with churches and choirs. In this field they present the musical band from chamber ensemble to classical orchestra with great Passions and oratorios. Besides Caterva musica offers purely instrumental spiritual concert programmes that are specific topics or devoted church festivals. Another focus in the work of Caterva musica is the co-operation with well-known vocal soloists. Among them should be mentioned Dorothee Mields (soprano), Joachim Gabriel Maaß (baritone), Anke Sieloff (mezzo-soprano), Andreas Post and Max Ciolek (tenors ). Concert programs originated, staged by secular cantatas to smaller operas such as e.g. the Intermezzo opera Pimpinone by Georg Philipp Telemann. In order to offer flexible, relatively inexpensive concerts, Caterva musica performs repeatedly in various chamber music ensembles, usually 3 to 5 players. Thus they have created programmes that are characterized by the playful quality of the particularly distinguished musicians: high virtuoso and emotional concerts! Most of the musical work of Caterva musica is performed in moderated instrumental concert programmesr. Through the playful quality of the individual musicians can be realized in solo works. The occupations in these programmes are usually of 11-14 players.

#include <mpi.h> int MPI_TYPE_DUP_FN(MPI_Datatype dtype, int key, void *extra, void *attrin, void *attrout, int *flag)
This function blindly byte-copies attributes on datatypes. It is the default atrribute-copying function for datatypes. This function will always return MPI_SUCCESS , and flag will always be set to 1.
The actual copy is performed by the code
*((void **) attrout) = attrin;
If this simple assignment is not sufficient for your attributes, you will need to reassign the attribute-copying function on relevant keyvals on datatypes with the MPI_Type_keyval_create function.
All MPI routines in Fortran (except for MPI_WTIME and MPI_WTICK ) have an additional argument ierr at the end of the argument list. ierr is an integer and has the same meaning as the return value of the routine in C. In Fortran, MPI routines are subroutines, and are invoked with the call statement.
All MPI objects (e.g., MPI_Datatype , MPI_Comm ) are of type INTEGER in Fortran.
For more information, please see the official MPI Forum web site, which contains the text of both the MPI-1 and MPI-2 standards. These documents contain detailed information about each MPI function (most of which is not duplicated in these man pages).
The LAM Team would like the thank the MPICH Team for the handy program to generate man pages ("doctext" from ftp://ftp.mcs.anl.gov/pub/sowing/sowing.tar.gz ), the initial formatting, and some initial text for most of the MPI-1 man pages.

Farmgirl's Dabbles "Balcony Girls" Make Spring Brownie Pops!
Today I have a wonderful friend as my guest, talking about her Balcony Girl's group and sharing a delicious, darling, Springy recipe. But before I begin, I want to show those who've been following my Balcony Girls posts, if you remember this post where the girls made pillowcase dresses for African girls, here are some pictures of the dresses they actually sewed of the little girls wearing them. I was so blessed to be a part of this amazing group of girls and their moms and grandmas that came to sew one afternoon back in November. My friend, Jeannie, actually hand delivered the dresses on a recent trip.
Today, Brenda from A Farmgirl's Dabbles is here to share with you a special time that she had with her Balcony Girls group. And if you head over to her site, I'm giving away "3" BG EBooks today, so you can enter over there to WIN. Brenda's blog is amazing, I love the recipes, stories, and beautiful photography.
Here's a few tasty recipes to check out: Lasagna Soup, Orange Poppyseed Drops, and Snickerdoodle Cupcakes. She is one talented girl and her recipes are always ready for printing (love this feature, which I'm working to bring to RE).
So here's Brenda …
My blog is where I share my cherished family recipes from growing up on the farm, plus new food I keep finding along the way. Preserving memories and family traditions is very important to me. You'll always find a story woven into the food I share. And it seems I often have my fingers in some kind of artsy-fartsy project, so you'll see some of my creative dabbles mixed in, too.
Today I'm going to share with you a fun and colorful treat, Spring Brownie Pops. At the core is a brownie recipe that's very special to me. These brownies practically raised me, as they were one of the more common treats found on our farm's kitchen counter as I was growing up. With just a few ingredients, they are quick and easy to put together, while offering loads of fudgy homemade goodness.
I first made these Spring Brownie Pops as a fun decorating activity for my daughter's 9th birthday party last month. I had assembled the brownies and sticks the day prior to the party. Then shortly before my daughter and her girlfriends arrived home from school, I melted the candy coating disks and assembled a tray of spring hued sprinkles. I decorated a few of my own, for examples, and waited for the giggly girls to arrive.
When they saw brownies on sticks (everything's more fun to eat when on a stick!) and all the pretty ingredients laid out, that's when the real chatter started! They were giddy. And they dipped and sprinkled every last brownie on a stick. What a fun treat for them to sit down and share together!
This was such a great activity for these young girls. I know we'll be making them again. And all the while I watched my daughter and her friends laughing and dipping brownies, all I could think about was Sandy's "Balcony Girls" project. If you have special young girls in your life and haven't yet checked out Sandy's e-book, I highly encourage you to do so. It's about investing in our adolescents and teaching them about virtues and positive relationships. I haven't formally set up a Balcony Girls program of my own, but I've been able to incorporate what I've read in the e-book, just in casual conversations with our 9-year-old daughter. It's really good stuff. Stuff every young girl should be taught. Stuff every not-so-young girl should be reminded of. Please, please, please check it out!
If you want the PRINT-OUT RECIPE for the Brownie Pops, you can get it, HERE.
Head over to A Farmgirl's Dabbles to say "hi" to Brenda and to win a copy of the BG e-book if you are interested!
Or, leave any comments here if you have any questions about BG. We'd also love to hear if you've heard about or participated in the Pillowcases for Africa Ministry?
Winners to the New Sonoma Diet Book GIVEAWAY are Marla, from Family Fresh Cooking, and Amy, Amy's Cooking Adventure, and Vinnie (no blog). Congrats, Ladies!

Released: Jun 01st, 1990
Running Time: 85
Director: Judy Blue
Company: Vivid Entertainment Group
Peter North, Heather Hunter, Jacqueline, Kelly Royce, Cameo (I), Eric Edwards
Critical Rating: AA 1/2
Genre: Feature
Here is an original concept for you: teacher Eric Edwards has a class of aspiring actors and he puts them through extemporaneous situations which call for them to have sex. Here's a second mind-boggling idea: one of the nymphette types has the hots for the teacher and in the end teaches him to let go and have hammer and tong sex with her. Now any teacher would lose his job under these circumstances and we'd let all this go if the sex was hot. But Performance puts attractive people in situations where they can screw each others' brains outs for 85 minutes. Nothing more, nothing less. The sex is frenetic, and the only memorable scene has inmate Peter North forced to give up his chick to guard Jon Dough with the interesting use of a mobile as a pseudo bed. Heather Hunter is lovely and one of the rising starlets; but even she cannot lift an average outing.

The Red Bull King of the Rock made its first stop in Austria is it looks for cellmates for the world final in America. Battles to find the toughest streetballers in the land took place in Vienna, Salzburg and Graz before the top 32 in Austria faced off to crown the king. Along with that honor, the winner of the Austrian tournament qualifies for the world final on The Rock - the infamous prison island of Alcatraz. In the end Austrian Bundesliga pro Toni Blazan won an enthralling contest and will fly the flag for Austria in San Francisco.
After the excitement of the qualifiers, which took place across Austria in the last four weeks, it all came to a big showdown for the Red Bull King of the Rock crown in Vienna. The top 32 Austrians met at streetball courts under a Danube bridge to play in groups to reach the last 16. Only the best two in each group were to qualify for the main event in the evening at Vienna's Semper Depot.
The courageous streetballers provided some tough physical clashes before things really took off at the last-16 stage. They were playing for a highly coveted spot after all in the world final of the Red BullKing of the Rock, the already legendary one-on-one streetball event. The brutally tough knockout matches were conducted under the simple rule of 'win or go home'. Until there were only two left that was -Toni Blazan, who normally shoots hoops for UBC St. Pölten in the Austrian Bundesliga, and on the other side regional league basketball player Sebastian Laimböck. Both began at the Salzburg qualifiers and now in Vienna it would be the end of the road for one of them.
As soon as the final started the spectators could barely be contained at the Semper Depot. Excited by the audience and encouraged by the laid-back banter from the commentator, Jojo, the players pushed their boundaries. In the end, Salzburg-born Toni Blazan took an 18-10 win. A mixture of power moves under the basket and a steady hand behind the three-point line saw Blazan dominate his opponent and be crowned as Red Bull King of the Rock inAustria.
Toni Blazan could barely believe his victory, saying: "It is just a superb feeling and something that I have never dreamed of. The whole event is structured superbly and the locations are all absolutely unique. For Alcatraz my goal first and foremost is to win at least one round, whatever happens."
The battle is now over and Austria has its representative for Alcatraz. Toni Blazan will take part in the Red Bull King of theRock world final across the coast from San Francisco on 28 September against the winners from 23 countries, as well as 20 winners from US states.
